Although GPS coordinates for current populations are not included due to the potential threat of poaching, the climate variables for each species are provided. The records for extant gecko and skinks mainly came from the New Zealand's Department of Conervation Herpetofauna Database. After updating the taxonomy and cleaning the data to reflect the taxonomy as at 2019 of 43 geckos speceis recognised across seven genera and 61 species in genus, we then thinned the occurrence records at a 1 km resolution for all species then predicted distributions for those with > 15 records using species distribution models. The climate variables for each species were selected among annual mean temperature (bio1), maximum temperature of the warmest month (bio5), minimum temperature of the coldest month (bio6), mean temperature of driest quarter (bio9), mean temperature of wettest quarter (bio10), and precipitation of the driest quarter (bio17). To reduce multicollinearity in species distribution models for each species, we only retained climate variables with a variable inflation factor < 10. The climate variables were from the CHELSA database (https://chelsa-climate.org/), which can be freely downloaded for current and future scenarios. We also provide MCC tree files for the geckos and skinks. The phylogenetic trees have been constructed for NZ geckos by (Nielsen et al., 2011) and for NZ skinks by (Chapple et al., 2009). For geckos we used a subset of the sequences used by Nielsen et al. (2011) for four genes, two nuclear (RAG 1, PDC) and two mitochondrial (16S, ND2 along with flanking tRNA sequences). For skinks, we used sequences from Chapple et al. (2009) for one nuclear (RAG 1) and five mitochondrial (ND2, ND4, Cyt b, 12S and 16S) genes, and additional ND2 sequences for taxa not included in the original phylogeny (Chapple et al., 2011, p. 201). In total we used sequences for all recognised extant taxa (Hitchmough et al., 2016) as at 2019 except for three species of skink (O. aff. inconspicuum “Okuru”, O. robinsoni, and O. aff. inconspicuum “North Otago”) and two species of gecko (M. “Cupola” and W. “Kaikouras”) for which genetic data were not available. Aim: The primary drivers of species and population extirpations have been habitat loss, overexploitation, and invasive species, but human-mediated climate change is expected to be a major driver in future. To minimise biodiversity loss, conservation managers should identify species vulnerable to climate change and prioritise their protection. Here, we estimate climatic suitability for two speciose taxonomic groups, then use phylogenetic analyses to assess vulnerability to climate change. Location: Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ) Taxa: NZ lizards: diplodactylid geckos and eugongylinae skinks Methods: We built correlative species distribution models (SDMs) for NZ geckos and skinks to estimate climatic suitability under current climate and 2070 future-climate scenarios. We then used Bayesian phylogenetic mixed models (BPMMs) to assess vulnerability for both groups with predictor variables for life history traits (body size and activity phase) and current distribution (elevation and latitude). We explored two scenarios: an unlimited dispersal scenario, where projections track climate, and a no-dispersal scenario, where projections are restricted to areas currently identified as suitable. Results: SDMs projected vulnerability to climate change for most modelled lizards. For species’ ranges projected to decline in climatically suitable areas, average decreases were between 42–45% for geckos and 33–91% for skinks, although area did increase or remain stable for a minority of species. For the no-dispersal scenario, the average decrease for geckos was 37–52% and for skinks was 33–52%. Our BPMMs showed phylogenetic signal in climate change vulnerability for both groups, with elevation increasing vulnerability for geckos, and body size reducing vulnerability for skinks. Main conclusions: NZ lizards showed variable vulnerability to climate change, with most species’ ranges predicted to decrease. For species whose suitable climatic space is projected to disappear from within their current range, managed relocation could be considered to establish populations in regions that will be suitable under future climates.

Overview The following dataset presents the energy cycle characteristics for 5G/6G mobile systems supported by Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and/or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs). In addition, within the dataset, the energy gain related to the engagement of RES within the Radio Access Network (RAN) has also been distinguished. Scenario The considered network scenario includes 8 three- (_results_gcas.csv) or one-cell (_results_scas.csv & _results_kras.csv) base stations (BSs) placed within the Poznan city (surroundings of the old market) and supported by Renewable Energy Sources — photovoltaic panels (PVs) and/or wind turbines (WTs). The aforementioned base stations can be treated as stationary towers or mobile access points (e.g., drones/UAVs). Those latter have been additionally equipped with RIS devices, which are able to reflect and manipulate a radio signal to influence occurrences such as interferences, coverage, or human exposure. However, the use of RISs has been taken into account only to evaluate the impact of the engagement of such devices on the energy side of the mobile system, omitting the changes in radio characteristics. The network traffic has been assumed to be fixed (64 mobile users (UEs) with 100 Mbps downlink — DL, and 25 Mbps uplink — UL, per each), however, its density in specific parts of the city is modeled randomly for each simulation run. The simulation runs have been performed for 4 dates (vernal equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox, winter solstice), each one from a different season of the year. The aim of such an approach was to highlight the impact of the time of the day and the year on the energy gain obtained thanks to enabling RES generators. The weather conditions assumed within the simulation are typical for the climate in Poland. Methodology The energy-cycle calculations (system's power consumption, renewable energy production, and excessive energy storage) have been based on the mathematical formulas from the scientific literature and performed within the digital simulation runs by using the Green Radio Access Network Design (GRAND) tool (developed by teams from the Ghent University & Poznan University of Technology). The UE-BS association process within the mobile system has been done by doing multi-objective optimization using the Gurobi software, which has taken into account parameters like path loss, predicted power consumption of BSs, and guaranteed DL & UL bit rates for UEs. Simulation setup The setup of the input parameters for used mathematical models (power consumption, energy generation, energy storage) has been done in accordance with the values attached within the delivered literature positions (cited within the publications included in the Related works section of the following dataset) and adjusted to the considered study. Furthermore, the data used to model the network environment (building distribution, coverage area, base stations' locations) as well as to predict weather conditions are the real data (for the year 2022) collected by the city hall of Poznan, one of the Polish mobile operators, and weather stations placed in Poznan, respectively. The number of simulation runs performed has been equal to 10 (each run has included energy-cycle calculations for 4 seasons of the year), with the time step of a single run set to 1 hour of the day. Results The results of the aforementioned investigations have been included in the attached files, which can be described as follows: File _results_gcas.csv The first column denotes the date (season of the year), for which the values have been obtained. The columns from second to fifth present observed values of the State of Charge (SoC) of a battery system (in %) for a single network cell on average in a time step. Those columns are the obtained values for the RAN, in which no RES, only PVs, only WTs, and both types of RES generators have been enabled, respectively. Files _results_scas.csv & _results_kras.csv The first column denotes the date (season of the year), for which the values have been obtained. The second and third columns denote the number of drone base station (DBS) exchanges within the wireless system on average in a particular time step, where no RES and only PVs are enabled, respectively. The fourth and fifth columns present the conventional (fossil-fuels-based) energy consumption (in kWh) for the whole system in a specific time step, in which no RES and only PVs are engaged for all the access nodes. The sixth column is the energy savings (in kWh) related to the use of RES generators within the mobile network. Furthermore, the seventh and eighth columns represent the amount of renewable energy harvested from the solar radiation in total and the peak value of this amount observed during the entire day, respectively.

Survey data used in a perception study of stalked barnacle harvesters on the effectiveness of fisheries management practices in Spain, Portugal and France. Harvesters from the following six regions along the Atlantic Arc participated: Morbihan in Brittany (France), Asturias-East, Asturias-West and Galicia (Spain), the Reserva Natural das Berlengas (RNB; Portugal) and the Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina (PNSACV; Portugal). We administered 184 surveys from October 2019 to September 2020 and each region was treated as an independent population. The data includes: general demographic data (Region, Age, Gender, Level of Education, Main income source, Years of Experience); perception data of the effectiveness of the currently implemented management strategies in each region (coded: e_name_of_strategy – using Likert Scale with scores ranging from 1 = completely ineffective to 5 = very effective); data of the willingness for change of the currently implemented management (Yes, No, NA); and data of harvesters’ perceptions regarding the most important strategy to achieve sustainability in the fishery. Because the surveys were conducted both before and during the Covid-19 pandemic (the column Covid indicates whether the data was collected before or during the pandemic), we had to make adjustments in our data collection methods. We provided the following options for survey completion (see the Recollection_of_data column): by hand in a written format, online, or via an oral interview conducted with the assistance of a scientist per telephone. Our results indicate that the majority of harvesters in the regions in Portugal and France were willing to make changes to current management strategies, reflecting their awareness of the need for improvement. Based on the AIC model selection analysis results, the model with the single variable region explained 83% of the cumulative model weight. The variable region was the best predictor of the trends in management strategy preferences, and presented a highly significant goodness-of-fit result (p<0.001), suggesting that regional differences play a significant role in shaping these preferences. No clear trend emerged regarding a single "optimal" management strategy preferred by harvesters across regions. Harvesters in less developed co-management systems favored general input and output restrictions and expressed a desire for greater involvement in co-management processes. Conversely, harvesters in highly developed co-management systems with Territorial User Rights for Fishers (TURFs) preferred the most restrictive and spatially explicit management strategies, such as implementing harvest bans and establishing marine reserves. Our findings emphasise that management strategies do not only need to be tailored to each region's particular practices, needs, and characteristics, but that resource users’ readiness for specific strategies also needs to be considered.
